Greetings, developers and data providers! Araport is a new kind of science resource, where the community is not only invited to contribute functionality, but is empowered to do so. Araport is powered by cutting edge technologies such as Drupal, the iPlant Agave API, Bootstrap, Node.js, and InterMine. You can find documentation and resources here for how to get started using Araport.

Learn how to build a Science App using the Araport infrastructure! The following pages provide step-by-step guides and walk-throughs for everything from setting up your development environment to building advanced applications using application templates and everything in between.

Open Source

Araport is open source. The development work happens in the Araport organization at Github. There are many repositories, most of them only of interest for the core developers of the portal. This is a curated list of useful repositories for app and data developers.

Reach out to us to ask questions about or discuss ideas for development by emailing araport@jcvi.org

The Arabidopsis Information Portal is funded by a grant from the National
